útiles

English translation: jigs and fixtures

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:útiles
English translation:jigs and fixtures
Entered by: Miguel Colina

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Machines
Spanish term or phrase: útiles
In this context: "(El) operario carga las piezas en los útiles" and later on "Los útiles están compuestos por dos sufrideras y un soporte..."

I only have half the text, but it is a metal sheet processing machine. I'm not sure how to translate this term at all, I don't think it's "tools".

Can anybody help?

TIA!
